Ultimate Mounds Bars

UltimateMoundsBars

I have been making these luscious bars for as long as I can remember. In fact, I’m not even sure where or from whom I got this recipe from, all I know is they are super easy to make and will disappear fast! If you love Mounds candy bars, you will go nuts over Ultimate Mounds Bars. They taste exactly, maybe even better than the candy bar. Seriously, they’re that good. I guarantee you can’t eat just one.

Addictive and Delicious

I top Ultimate Mounds Bars with a combination of peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate and butterscotch chips. You could use dark chocolate chips thus keeping more true to a Mounds Candy Bar If you want to make Almond Joy bars, follow the recipe but top the coconut layer with whole or chopped almonds before drizzling the top with the melted chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch mixture.
